We polled a few certified nutritionists, registered dieticians, and health consultants to find out what snacks they always bring when they're on the go. And there are no surprises here: They all universally love nuts. But that doesn't just mean raw nuts like cashews or almonds. It also includes homemade trail mix, nut butters with fruit, or granola bars.

If granola bars are more your thing, make sure they're packed full of nuts so you're really satisfied. Bonnie Taub-Dix, MA, RDN, CDN suggests KIND bars. "I know it's going to do the trick because it has a blend of everything — protein, carbohydrates, and the right fats. I try to look for something that will hit all the spots: give me energy and taste good," she explains.

Not convinced you should add this nourishing snack to your shopping list? A recent study found that people who eat a handful of nuts every day were less likely to die from heart disease and cancer, and on average were slimmer than non-nut eaters. Um, pass us the almonds.
